Like a veal parmigiana that comes back to haunt you, so too have casting rumors for Martin Scorsese’s planned biopic on Frank Sinatra.
According to reports, “Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney and Johnny Depp are slugging it out to play Frank Sinatra.” The stories basically all claim that Scorsese is pulling for DiCaprio, who he’s worked on a number of films, including “The Departed” and “Gangs of New York,” but the studio wants Depp, while Tina Sinatra, daughter of the legendary crooner, would like Clooney to play the part of Ol’ Bue Eyes.
So who’s it going to be?
It’s “way premature,” the director’s rep tells Gossip Cop, adding rather significantly, “Marty isn’t even thinking about casting yet. They don’t even have a draft of a script.”
So for the time being, fuggedaboutit… and when there’s news, Gossip Cop will let you know.
